SPF is a non-negotiable. Rain or shine, this important skincare step keeps harmful rays at bay. An important ingredient? Zinc Oxide. It’s the mineral that sits on top of the skin bouncing and blocking persistent UVA & UVB rays. While any sunscreen is better than none, here are a few of our favorites.
Elta
Dermatologist recommended elta MD sunscreen provides the daily layer of SPF you need to protect your skin — without weighing you down. The formula absorbs quickly and glides on smooth, all without the notorious sunscreen smell. A little goes a long way to protect the skin, all while keeping pores clear.
Coola
Hailing from sunny San Diego, COOLA knows a thing or two about sun protection. Their lineup of SPF products range from matte tinted sunscreens, SPF setting sprays, and our favorite — the cucumber face cream. It’s a refreshing skincare step you’ll look forward to every single day.
SunBum
SunBum is our go-to beach choice. The lightweight formula includes broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection, a breakout clear formula, and can keep up during a busy day of sand and salt.
Supergoop!
Supergoop! everyday sunscreen makes (as you may have guessed) great daily protection. Apply this bad boy after moisturizer for foolproof protection. The light liquid is the perfect base to build foundation, guaranteeing you full sunkissed coverage.
Bare Republic
Another go-to beach grab, this mineral formula is water-resistant for up to 40 minutes, allowing you to hit the waves and leave the classic sunscreen white cast far, far behind.
